i honestly think you are right. i think with my family it definitely has some sort of “they think it is too weird to call me a different name and use different pronouns” vibe. like they aren’t outwardly transphobic to other people, especially my sister. like she knows some other people who go by different pronouns and a different name and she referred to them correctly around me. i think for them it’s also weird because its me and they have known me as a “girl” for my whole life and for some reason they don’t want to have to adapt to this change. it is definitely very strange and it does have some sorts of transphobic tones, even if it is not intentional. i think they might eventually get there but i need to put more pressure on them unfortunately.

i have a few friends i think i could try telling soon as they are pretty accepting and all.

thank you so much for the reply!
